Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 304 Counterattack

Xie Xi lowered his voice and said, "I have inquired in private. I heard that it was the Chang'an Hou army who was in charge of the troops, and left the token for the dispatch of troops to Xu Wentao. Several garrisons around Jinlan Pass can be mobilized."

Lin Zisu disagreed with Xie Xi's statement.

In his previous life, Lin Zisu was the eldest lady from the Marquis of Weiyuan, and she also learned about the military system of Dayan in detail.

Taizu raised troops and gathered generals back then, swept the world in one fell swoop, and relied on a group of generals to pacify the country.

After the founding of the Dayan Kingdom, Taizu attached great importance to military affairs and established hundreds of capital and guard offices in the world, as the basis for the founding of the Dayan Kingdom.

But Taizu did not expect that after more than a hundred years of peace, the group of soldiers who roared around the world had disappeared.

Especially during the reign of Emperor Ruizong, the Ministry of War took over part of the military power of the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Since then, both sides have only been concerned about fighting for power and profit, and other training and preparations have become second.

As a result, the military discipline of most garrison troops was abolished and arrogant, and the gap between them and the Beidi army became increasingly widening.

Such an army with no combat power is OK to increase the number of troops, and it is really hard to let them fight against the Northern Di.

Since Ruizong reformed the military system, the position of the Governor's Office of the Five Army has been very embarrassing. If the Ministry of War is eroded, he might have to obey the orders of the cabinet in the future, and then Luanke will become a laughing stock in the whole world.

Shen Changde and Fang Luan looked at each other, fearing that there would be any misunderstandings in the middle, so they confirmed the details to each other, and were both confused.

After several generations of emperors, they were helpless in the face of the attacks of the Northern Di.

It is not a big deal to falsely report military merits. In order to solve the problem of livelihood, local garrisons often ask for credit from the court to receive rewards. This is a tacit fact that the military generals are also accustomed to. Fang Luan is also accustomed to it.

But most of the people who report to suppress bandits and slaughter the people. Even if they falsely report military merits, they cannot make up such irrelevant lies.

The emperor withdrew Wang Jian, the general general of the State Guard a few months ago and replaced him with a confidant. He had also asked the Ministry of War for his opinion at that time.

Since the founding of the Dayan Kingdom, Taizu was wise and divine, and firmly suppressed Beidi in the northern border.

Xie Xi saw Lin Zisu's doubts and smiled and said, "That boy Xu Wentao has always been bold. He may not be able to win by surprise. When his military newspaper is spread to the capital, you will know what's going on."

When Shen Changde first read the contents of the military newspaper, he thought he had read it wrong.

This military newspaper made all the civil and military officials in the court fall into their eyes. The first reaction of Weiyuan Hou Fang Luan was anger.

A few months later, a great victory came from the northern border. It would be a bit unreasonable to say that there was no emperor's arrangement.

After understanding this section, Fang Luan did not care about the past conflicts with the cabinet and personally went to find Shen Changde, Minister of War.

Fang Luan has always been petty and wishes to take all the credits on himself. At this time, it must be unusual to turn the credits in front of him outward.

As a result, I suddenly realized that this battle was the emperor who passed the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army and issued an order to the north in private.

This great victory was concealed from the Governor's Office and the Ministry of War of the Five Army, which made people think a lot out of thin air.

The military newspaper said it very simply, saying that the deputy general Xu Wentao was brave enough to lead 5,000 cavalry to the heart of Beidi, conquering Beididahan, Anlun, Suto, Hab and Gray City five cities.

For the Governor's Office of the Five Army, this is not a good thing.

Chen Changde smelled a trace of unusual meaning from Fang Luan's words.

He put away the suspicion on his face, bowed to Fang Luan and smiled: "Weiyuan Houyuan is planning a strategic plan, winning a thousand miles away, and making such extraordinary achievements is enough to spread in history."

Even the revival lord like Ruizong could only barely defend the border.

Chen Changde was stunned when he heard Fang Luan's sarcastic words.

This time, the military newspapers from the northern border arrived very slowly. It was not until four days later that the Ministry of War received the military newspaper from the Luyuan Prefecture Guard.

Chen Changde asked carefully: "Mr. Marquis, although there is such a great victory in the northern border, it is said that it should be rewarded with the three armies. However, the State Guard went to war without the order of transfer. This trend must not be long. Do you see if it is from the five The Military Governor's Office wrote to the Weizhou Province and asked them to explain the process of sending troops?"

With such great contributions to the Ministry of War, will the emperor give the Ministry of War more rights?

Chen Changde glanced at Fang Luan with a squinted look. Seeing that Fang Luan's face was unpredictable, he suddenly thought of something.

If this military newspaper is true, then the problem seems to be even more serious for Fang Luan.

We have to reach a tacit understanding with the Ministry of War before the emperor made a decision.

Fang Luan cursed Chen Changde in his heart, but said, "Mr. Shen, the Ministry of War is rewarded and punished and advanced. You can also write to the State Guards to see how they reply."

The dispatch of troops was originally the main job of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. This time the emperor skipped the Governor's Office of the Five Army and issued a direct order. Did he have any prejudice against him?

Nowadays, the military affairs are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Army, but this time the battle with Beidi did not know at all. It seems that the Ministry of War issued a direct military order to the lower level, but even won such a big victory.

But Fang Luan said that it was led by the Ministry of War, so this victory was quite strange.

He thought Fang Luan had won such a big victory, and today he was a demonstration with him to avenge the grudges of military supplies a few days ago.

"Isn't this battle led by the Governor's Office of the Five Army?"

According to the current mechanism, the Ministry of War is responsible for coordinating and military supplies, and the Governor's Office of the Five Army is responsible for dispatching troops.

Fang Luan thought that Chen Changde was talking slander, and said calmly: "What did Secretary Chen say? This time the Ministry of War skipped the Governor's Office of the Five Army and obtained this great victory. Chen Shangshu can be said to be simple in the emperor's heart, according to this marquis , the next cabinet chief minister should be the Minister of State Chen.”

It was not until he repeatedly confirmed with Fang Luan that Chen Changde believed it.

The heavenly heart is unpredictable, and maybe the emperor had already had an idea to take advantage of this great victory to distribute the interests of the Governor's Office to the Ministry of War.

This Zhouwei is so bold. If someone notices something is wrong, how can the generals make profits from it in the future?

In addition to being angry, Fang Luancai was shocked to realize that Wang Jian, the general of the Weizhou Guard, had been replaced a few months ago. Now, the Weizhou Guard is a person sent by the emperor and should not have made any false claims of military merits.

Fang Luan must have figured out this section, so he did not dare to be greedy for merit, nor did he dare to ask too much inside information. Instead, he instigated the Ministry of War to question the Wei of Zhou.

"After this great victory, I will report to Your Majesty first. As for the passage of it, I don't rush to ask."

Chen Changde smiled a little unnaturally, and then whispered: "Marty, the lower official only knows the basics of martial arts, and still has some questions. I wonder if you are willing to give me some advice?"

When Fang Luan and Shen Changde were dumbfounded, the emperor in the Ganqing Palace was full of energy and said to Xie Yao under the imperial case: "Yaoer, if I could destroy the Northern Di in my lifetime, who would I rank among the emperors of all dynasties? ”
